MORE AWARDS!! If only I could figure out how to proudly display them on sidebar!

The lovely Miss Eileen at But She’s Crazy…(http://butshescrazy.com/), one of my most favoritest bloggers, bestowed a new award upon my blog. I am totally 100% stealing the format she invented, so here goes:

Readers appreciate Not Quite Lost? To think where my self esteem might have been if I’d started years ago…

1. Include the award logo somewhere in your blog. (Check)
2. Answer these 10 questions, below, for fun if you want to.
3. Nominate 10 to 12 blogs you enjoy. Or you pick the number.
4. Pay the love forward: Provide your nominee’s link in your post and comment on their blog to let them know they’ve been included and invited to participate.
5. Pay the love back with gratitude and a link to the blogger(s) who nominated you. (Check)

1. what is your favorite color?

Greens any and all

2. what is your favorite animal?

Why, Ocelots, of course

Meow

3. What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink?

Vita Coco Coconut Water

Yum

That’s 3 of 10. The rest, well, I’m making up my own rules: Please see video:

OK, I nominate, for reader appreciation, all of the blogs I appreciate in no particular order:

If you go to dashboard and click on appearance, you’ll see a category called widgets. click on that one and then look for a widget called “images”. Then drag and drop “images” on your side bar. It opens a little window where you can add the URL of the picture of the award. Add a title and click on save. Then close that little window. Then repeat the process for each one of the awards you want to display on your side bar.

You were right, finding stuff in my spam – anyway, I’ve tried this but it doesn’t work – in the past my daughter had to overwrite the html code. But I’m in patient. Maybe when she comes to visit on Sunday! Thanks for taking the time, XOXO

Hey MM.
Congratulations. By the way I just nominated you for the same award.
As for how to display them in the side bar here is how I do it for what it is worth…

1. I save the award graphic to my computer.
2. Then I upload it to my media library on my blog
3. Then I make a note of the graphic’s ‘title’
4. The I copy the file URL for that graphic.
5. I then go to ‘Dashboard’, then ‘appearance’, then ‘widgets’,
6. Then I select the ‘Text’ option and slide it across to where I want it in the side bar.
7. Then I open that ‘Text’ box and put the title of the award as a heading.
8. In the main window of the Text’ box I place the following script…

The captial A’s in the above script will need to be lower case I made them capitals here so that they would show and not be read as a script in this comment. The square brackets should not be included in your script.

9. I then add any additional text I personally want to add.
10. I then check the ‘automatically add paragraphs’ option and then save and close.
Going back to your homepage you should then see the graphic where you wanted it.
Oh by the way, playing with the width and height values will alter the size of the graphic diplayed.

Hope that all helps and actually shows up properly in this comment..
Kind regards

Dear Kevin,
This is great, I haven’t tried it. Thank you for the nomination, I only didn’t nominate you bc I saw you were nominated along with me! Or was that the award above? Do you have a cat? Do you like cats? Have you ever seen a cat? Do you think they have soft fur?
Hope you’re good, we have Irish weather this weekend, makes the think of the old country…no, not really, never been!
Big cyber-hugs,
Jill

Hi Jill, Nope I have a dog not a cat and as far as I know – it is impossible to check this much body you understand – I don’t have any fur, although I do have claws but I only ever use them occassionally lol.

Yes weather is very wet here. Thankfully I am unwell at the moment and so am stuck in bed so the weather really isn’t affecting me too much, Hope the scrpt and instructions were helpful.

Thank you beautiful. I can teach you how to display them.
Step 1. go to your dashboard under appearance you’ll see “widgets”, click on that
Step 2. Add a text widget to your widgets section on the right
Step 3. Awww hell, I’ll just email you later heheh.

You deserve the nomination and I humbly accept mine.. I have surfaced from scuba diving from the icebergs of Antarctica and have found many interesting things to have occurred in my abcence…..thanks again!
Big icy hugs
Dot

Sitting in the window watching for my kids’ bus. A car pulls up and a boy, 7 or 8 in baseball getup, gets out and runs to the back of the house across the street. The car, silver, idles – a man inside. I start to hear pounding, as of fists on a door. The pitch […]

The depression is ingrained after so many years – there almost every day – but every day seems to have it’s own manifestation. I almost wish I was at my worst so I could hospitalize and be cared for. I wish I was dead but am not suicidal, the ideation is there but not the […]

A few more minor events stand out. There was a girl, 10 or 11, who had a paper route on North Beacon. My little gang – my Lebanese neighbors, a Jamaican girl from across the street – and I secretly mocked her. She must have been the only white girl in the neighborhood besides me. […]

I didn’t know I had Complex PTSD until I was 36 years old. I deliberately turned off my trauma – tossed it, pretended it never happened – when Social Services removed my sister and I from our mother’s custody and placed us with our newly sober and forever ex-criminal father. We never talked about our […]
